I get the importance of bugs, but why do they gotta be such annoying assholes.

They know they are important, so they be assholes knowing we can't do anything about it

If a deity exists, he probably says the same thing about humans. Both are annoying to a more advanced being for similar reasons.

I'd be fine if it was just biting mosquitoes that disappeared.

German has a word for it: Insektensterben

Image is accurate, since without bugs, the food chain collapses and takes society with it, and the survivors will have to migrate to rural areas that can support a hunter-gatherer lifrstyle.

If pollinators weren't necessary, human food wouldn't be affected too much. But given we eat plants (and the animals we eat eat plants) hunter-gathering would have the same problem as just continuing farming. Can't gather if there are no plants, can't hunt if the prey starved to death.

I already do this on occasion, there is usually just several inches of snow on the ground when I do.

I slept outside once as a kid and ended up with massive mosquito bites all over my body.
